Hand dealt.

First draw dazzles. Then, it stings.

With second try, inroads for a fair pair are pursued.

Cards in the river turn, but they flip fouls—as if from a nullah instead.

Will rubbing an oak-apple this day bring luck by way of a hearted king saved for the last reveal?

Final card faced.

Pièce de résistance produces proudly—even though not nobly.

A diamond in the rough can carry the win no matter how others’ fates fall.

Deal handled. ; )
